In a sea of twink and straight guy sites it's exciting to find a gem like Men Over 30. There are sites that cater to bears and muscle men, and even a couple that cater to senior lovers, but there are very few that bring us mature men in their thirties and forties. Men Over 30 delivers an interesting mix of men. They don't focus on any one type of guy, but rather their inventory of men ranging from hairy men, Latinos, black men, muscle guys, and even a few fashion model types and a few too old for Sean Cody type of guys, and a host of just regular guys both gay and straight. Men Over 30 is really about showing off how sexy the mature man can be and not displaying any one type of guy. The guys are featured in both solo jack off scenes and hardcore gay sex, although most of the site is stocked with solo action.

The member's area has a number of different options. Each guy has a gallery of pictures; another of video clips available in Real Player, Windows Media Video formats, and mpegs for dial-up users; and a gallery of clips where you get to know the model. In the "Man Talk" section the guys talk about their sexuality, their cocks, and what turns them on. I like that the interviews are separated from the rest of the clips because sometimes I wanted to hear what the guys have to say, but sometimes I just want to get right to the action.

The colours are pleasing and generally speaking the layout is pretty easy to follow, although sometimes I find it a bit crowded with options. A cleaner design would go a long way to improve the member's experience.

The stand-out feature of Men Over 30 is the sheer volume of content. They have a lot of guys on the site. Over 90 galleries at the time of this review. And each gallery contains a fair number of pictures – over 150 photos. The photos and videos are shot exclusively by Men Over 30, so while you may see some of these men around elsewhere, you're not going to find these galleries anywhere else. And Men Over 30 works hard to give you a number of different options to bring you the very best viewing option. You can download or stream the Real Player and Windows Media Video clips. And their recent introduction of Digital Rights Management (DRM) technology means you're getting bigger video clips. The DRM licences don't expire, but they will prevent the video clips from being illegally distributed.

Men Over 30 also has a pretty sweet deal – when you join Men Over 30 you also receive access to Circle Jerk Boys, Extra Big Dicks, True Twinks, and Boys Gone Bad. Now, for the mature man lover True Twinks and Boys Gone Bad may not be all that appealing. But there's some pretty hot action happening on Circle Jerk Boys, and I also found the mix of guys and men on Extra Big Dicks pretty interesting, too. Either way, it's free, so it's worth checking out. And all of their sites are updated weekly.

Men Over 30 also gives you extensive bios on the models. There's always a little story on how the model came to Men Over 30, or how they had to ease him into the shoot. They're fun to read and get you revved up for the real action.

While the number of viewing options is a plus, I also found it a little overwhelming at first. I wasn't sure what I was supposed to click. It's just a matter of trial and error to get more comfortable with the site and how they operate. For instance, when you find a model you like there are buttons across the top page of his leading to the Videos, Man Talk, and the Pictures, but there are also video viewing buttons underneath the main navigation for Real Player and Windows Media Video. If you click either of those two links you'll be getting the "Man Talk" clips and not the actual action videos. I think just leaving the opening page for the bio and the main media options would be less confusing.

Men Over 30 is a powerhouse of a site, offering a lot of content and weekly updates. They also offer a number of third-party plug-ins like Bear Patrol, Fuck Me Fella, and Roman Bathhouse. And with the bonus access to their four other sites, you're really getting excellent value for your membership dollar. If you like mature men in their thirties and forties, you'll love Men Over 30. And there's a split of about one-third hardcore action and two-thirds solo jack off scenes.
